Martin, then Resident at the Durbar.
1st. Was any application made to you for the account which you have
delivered, of three lacs of rupees said to have been paid to the
Governor and Mr. Middleton, or did you deliver the account of your own
free will, and unsolicited?
2d. In what manner was the application made to you, and by whom?
3d. On what account was the sum of one and half lacs given to the
Governor-General, which you have laid to his account? Was it in
consequence of any requisition from him, or of any previous agreement,
or of any established usage?
The Governor-General objected strongly to Mr. Goring's being present
when the questions were put to the Begum; but it was insisted on by the
majority, and it was resolved accordingly, that he ought to be present.
The reasons on both sides will best appear by the copy of the debate,
inserted in the Appendix.
The Begum's answer to the preceding questions, addressed to the
Governor-General and Council, where it touched the substance, was as
follows.
